"BLUE VASE" oil on masonite panel $300

Thank goodness it's Sun.........day of rest.........tomorrow will figure out how it is I created 2 or 3 different 'home pages'.......double sigh.  Here's a painting a few months old......9"x12" oil with palette knife....just love bright,rich colors....the little vase is Goodwill find.  There's beauty everywhere !  

"VISTA GRANDE ll" 8"x10" O/C NFS

Decided overnite to change blog name, which is pretty confusing to this newbie blogger. The painting is 8"x10" in water mix. oils and one I like tho it's tighter work than I aspire to...parts I really liked were the 'accidents'...background trees that are mainly the original block-in, not fussed over or 'thought' too much. The greenery is not typical of here in Rio Ranch NM but remindsme of growing up in Pa.   Watched a fine PBS show this morning...."Passports and Palettes".....artists I like.....Kevin MacPherson, Ken Backhaus  and more. Kevin did a super oil study of an Italian Riviera beach   (sigh)            

New Beginnings

Never too late to start........this is my first blog posting (now that wasn't so bad!).....hopes for my art on the rise. My huge big thanks to Mike Rooney (mikerooneystudios.blogspot.com) who is always willing to share his artist's journey in ways that make me know that doing my art is  possible. Grazie MR. His blog has info on blogging and selling art not to mention bunches of beautiful paintings.              Will keep this brief and promise myself that tomorrow....for sure.....will post a painting.   Here's to my closet painter friends.........happy painting  .  Would love to hear from you   F
